Have you ever experienced being treated badly in your workplace?

Pa-rant lang slight. I don't know what's the best title for this: "It's hard to talk to someone with saltik", "Why power-tripping is so common in the workplace?", "Why do people think highly of themselves?" I’m wondering if I’m the one on the wrong side of emotions today, or if it’s her, who blurted out…

I Bought Lotto Tickets For The First Time

"Pag ako nanalo sa lotto..." I used to hear the statement above from my dad when we were young. He is fond of buying lotto tickets almost every day. Whenever we're on the way to the outlet, he always tells us about his plans for what he would do if he won the jackpot. His…

Uhm, hello.

Here I am again, attempting to write something meaningful, but already giving up at the beginning. "Can I still write?" I asked Jeff for the second time this afternoon. "Kaya mo yan, kinalawang ka lang," he said, brutally honest as ever. Inulit pa niya. I told him I want to write again. I told him…

It's been four long years since we were able to fly out of the country. Pandemic imprisoned us, and when the gates of other nations opened, travel requirements and Covid protocols made us…

The Digital Creator Generation, Is This Even Real?

I Retired Before 40

"If it's the best idea, I'm yet to find out." No doubt that becoming a CPA is the pride and joy of my parents. I still remember clearly how mommy and I jumped together with excitement the moment my cousin announced that I passed the board exam. It was the time when daddy stopped calling…
